Petition, lawmakers call for 'purple alert system' after missing teen with Down syndrome found safe
PITTSBURGH —

Kayla Durler was found safely on Saturday by community volunteers, but those who were a part of the search say a “purple alert” system specifically designed to help find children and adults with intellectual disabilities would have made a difference.
